 DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3, a heat dissipating apparatus is provided in accordance with a first embodiment of the present invention. The heat dissipating apparatus is mounted in an equipment chassis 400 having a plurality of electronic components therein, and includes a mounting device, and a fan 500. The mounting device includes a bracket 100, a rotating device 200, and a fixing plate 210. In this embodiment, the equipment chassis 400 is a computer chassis.
The bracket 100 includes a box-shaped base 110 having a top wall 112, and four sidewalls. Two generally L-shaped arms 120 extend out then up from two end portions of one of the sidewalls of the base 110. Each arm 120 defines two fixing holes 122 in a portion above the top wall 112 of the base. A fixing portion 260 is formed on an inside surface of another one of the sidewalls of the base 110. A through hole 114 is defined in the top wall 112. A circuit board 330 is mounted in the base 110.
The fixing plate 210 is generally U-shaped and used for clamping the fan 500 therein. The fixing plate 210 includes a bottom wall and two elastic arms extending perpendicularly from the bottom wall.
The rotating device 200 is mounted in the base 110 of the bracket 100. The rotating device 200 includes an electromotor 240 having a shaft (not shown) fixed to the fixing portion 260 of the base 110 and electrically connected with the circuit board 330 of the base 110, a first gear 280 fixed to the shaft of the electromotor 240, a rotating shaft 250 passing through the through hole 114 of the base 110 to connect with the bottom wall of the fixing plate 210, and a second gear 270 fixed to the rotating shaft 250 in the base 110 and engaging with the first gear 280. The number of gear teeth of the second gear 270 is more than that of the first gear 280. Thereby, rotating speed of the second gear 270 and the rotating shaft 250 is slower than that of the first gear 280 and the electromotor 240.
Referring to FIG. 4, the circuit board 330 includes a control circuit 300. The control circuit 300 includes a periodic signal generating circuit 310 for generating a periodic square wave signal, and a rotating control circuit 320 for controlling rotation of the shaft in the electromotor 240 according to the signal. The shaft of the electromotor 240 rotates in one direction during the first half of one cycle of the signal, and then rotates in the opposite direction during the second half of the cycle.
Referring back to FIGS. 1 to 3, in assembly, a plurality of fasteners 600, such as screws are extended through the fixing holes 122 of the arms 120 of the bracket 100 respectively and screwed into a rear plate 410 of the equipment chassis 400. Thereby, the bracket 100, the fixing plate 210, and the rotating device 200 are mounted in the equipment chassis 400. The rear plate 410 defines a plurality of vents, and the fan 500 is aligned with the vents. The fan 500 is fixed to the fixing plate 210 with two lateral portions of the fan 500 being clamped by the elastic arms of the fixing plate 210. In this embodiment, the fan 500 is an axial fan, and the axis of the fan 500 is perpendicular to the rear plate 410.
In use, the periodic signal generating circuit 310 of the circuit board 330 generates a periodic square wave signal. The rotating control circuit 320 receives the signal, and controls the rotation of the shaft in the electromotor 240. The first gear 280 rotates together with the shaft in the electromotor 240, and drives the second gear 270 and the rotating shaft 250 to rotate in the first direction in the first half of one cycle of the signal. The fixing plate 210 and the fan 500 mounted thereon thus rotate together with the rotating shaft 250 to a desired angle in the first direction, and the desired angle is set by the rotating angle of the electromotor 240, and gear ratio of the first gear 280 and the second gear 270. The shaft of electromotor 240 rotates in the opposite direction in the second half of the cycle of the signal, and the fixing plate 210 and the fan 500 rotate in the opposite direction. Thereby, the fan 500 mounted in the equipment chassis 400 sweeps back and forth along an arc path of the arrowhead as shown in FIG. 1, directing airflow to nearly all space in the equipment chassis 400.
In another embodiment, the rotating shaft 250, the first gear 280, and the second gear 270 of the first embodiment are omitted. The shaft of the electromotor 240 passes through the through hole 114 of the base 110 to directly connect with the fixing plate 210. In use, the electromotor 240 drives the fixing plate 210 and the fan 500 to sweep back and forth.
It is believed that the present embodiments and their advantages will be understood from the foregoing description, and it will be apparent that various changes may be made thereto without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention or sacrificing all of its material advantages, the example hereinbefore described merely being preferred or exemplary embodiments of the invention.
